Hmmm, how exactly, can Ted be assured that it is your gun in the first place?

While I do understand this whole, "off the grid" mentality some people have. I support Ted in his desire to keep everything official and above board. What if, as an FFL, Ted receives a stolen gun report on some piece he just mailed back to a PO box, which is now closed and the perp has vanished? What does he do then? Keep it quiet?

"Ted Green when he finished it he will only send it back to
your FFL dealer and you will have it reregsterd to you"

If your concern here is being placed "on the grid" by the pistol being returned through an FFL, you are wasting your time. Ted, (and any other professional you choose to send your pistol out to) has to log your pistol into their books and by law, attach your name to it. If a BATF bulletin featuring your gun's serial number goes out, any FFL who has had it through their books is legally obligated to provide your information as having owned or posessed it on such and such a date.
